Tobey's OT Tip Lifts Virginia Past Maryland, 61-58

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - Mike Tobey's tip-in with 1:46 to play in overtime gave Virginia the lead and it held on to beat Maryland 61-58 Sunday night in a game the Cavaliers had to win to boost their NCAA tournament hopes.

Tobey, who scored 13 points, tipped in a miss by Akil Mitchell to give Virginia (21-10, 11-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) the lead, and two turnovers and a missed 3-point try just before the buzzer by Dez Wells preserved the Cavaliers' 17th consecutive home victory and a first-round bye in the ACC tournament.

Nick Faust led the Terrapins (20-11, 8-10) with 15 points and Wells finished with 12 and 12 rebounds, but despite leading most of the game, the Terrapins lost their fifth in a row against Virginia.

Mitchell led Virginia with 17 points and Joe Harris had 15 despite making just 4 of 18 shots.
